Question 1

ive been taking atorvastatin and recently started to experience chills. i believe its due to the medication. what could be causing this in terms of vitamin mineral nutrition loss? if i stop the medication do the side effects just go away?

Accepted Answer

Possible: Atorvastatin &amp; other “statin”  drugs (usually taken to lower cholesterol) can commonly cause muscle pain (myalgia) which usually resolves when the medication is stopped, but chills are not often reported. If you have an actual fever (take temperature) or any respiratory, bowel or urinary symptoms, call  Dr, but if only “chills” you could try stopping Med for couple weeks to see if chills resolve

Question 2

what are the side effects of taking several multivitamin and minerals with iron?

Accepted Answer

Overdose: Certain vitamins & minerals, including iron, can become toxic if you consistently take much more than your body needs. One multivitamin is usually sufficient for most healthy people. Men & women who don't menstruate shouldn't take iron supplement unless specifically instructed under dr's care. Some supplements can interfere with absorption of others, so consult w/ practitioner if using several.

Question 3

what are the side effects of glovit vitamins and minerals with amino acids?

Accepted Answer

Harmless: The manufacturer reports that they contain common nutrients and apart from the money you pay for them, there should be no side effects.

Question 4

does soymilk with added minerals, calcium,vitamins, seasalt, nat. flavor,& gellan  interact with aceminatophen (tylenol) 500mg? i mean does this kind of soymilk or any kind of soymilk affect the effectiveness of aceminotap. and/or cause side effects?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Soy milk with the additives you mentioned should not interfere with acetaminophen. Do not take alcohol while you are taking acetaminophen.
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 5

good day

ive been using valsartan for hypertension reasons but had to stop because it causes me epididymitis, now i use  atorvastatin and its giving me vivid dreams. is there anything better i can use with less side effects ?

Accepted Answer

Medication : You can speak to a doctor about changing your medication. I remember and a patient who had 20 medications on her allergy list, but when you continue to ask her details about the side effects you come to realize she did not want any medication because she believed that all medication is bad for her.  Sometimes patients express concerns indirectly

Question 6

so she has been getting a steroid injection due to her hs ( hidradenitis suppurativa) is that injection for any chance going to give her any side affects of gaining weight and her period being delayed or any other side effects?

Accepted Answer

: This type of steroid treatment can give a patient an appetite increase. It is not the type of steroid that would interfere with menses. Long term side effects of steroids depend on dosing &amp; frequency and rarely are features of sporadic use.

Question 7

what are the side effects of to much fibre in the diet?

Accepted Answer

Too much fiber: If you eat too much fiber without drinking enough water, your bowel can get constipated -- even obstructed if it's really bad.  If you increase fiber more quickly than your system can manage, you can get abdominal cramps, gas, diarrhea, and intense urgency. Too much fiber could also mildly interfere with absorbing needed nutrients like calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc.

Question 8

how much maximum onion one can eat in day without any side effects?

Accepted Answer

Onions are Food: Onions are food, not medicine.  There would be no 'side effects' to report. I do not believe there is any science on this subject: 'how many onions are too many onions?".

Onions are sugar or carbohydrate calories. There is very little of nutritious value in onions.

Question 9

does camprall has any side effects and how much dosage should one take?

Accepted Answer

See Dr: Campral, aka acamprosate or n-acetyl homotaurine, is used to treat alcohol dependence. Side effects can include diarrhea, irregular heartbeats, blood pressure changes (up or down), headaches, impotence, insomnia. It is usually taken as a 333mg time-release tablet, three times a day. See a dr / addiction professional for more information.

Question 10

jj, moderna or pfizer? whats your personal/professional opinion? which one has least side effects?

Accepted Answer

: JJ, Moderna and Pfizer all have significant benefit in protection against COVID.  Pfizer and Moderna require a second dose, and JJ does not.  The major benefit to encourage use of any of those vaccines is the significant reduction of hospitalization/death resulting from non-use, so any of the listed vaccines is recommended strongly.
